BJP favours formation of Telangana: Rajnath Singh

New Delhi: BJP president Rajnath Singh today said his party is in favour of an expeditious formation of Telangana, and that his party will ensure the formation of a separate state if it comes to power at the Centre after 2014 elections.

"We support Telangana cause. The BJP is committed to form the state. Government should grant it immediately," party chief Rajnath Singh told reporters after attending the BJP's SC Morcha National Executive meeting in Delhi.

Mr Singh's statement came at a time when Congress has decided to convene the UPA Coordination Committee meeting on July 31 to take a view on the Telangana issue.
